Coplanar BTB Contact System
Series 70-9159
Dissecting linear LED lighting from a connector standpoint looks very
simple from far away, but up close there is no magical solution. Even
though there have been new connectors developed in recent years
specifically for this application, the specific requirements in challenging
new designs continue to push for something better, different and more
cost competitive. AVX has been one of the companies developing new
connector systems for this specific application. The 2-Piece 9159 series
offers the smallest profile while still supporting full 5 Amp capability. The
1-Piece version offers the best cost advantage for a connectorized
solution, yet has limitations in LED pitch densities.
AVX’s latest approach is to not even have a connector! LED’s run down
the center of the board looking to minimize pitch densities to maximize
light output. Connectors interrupt this requirement at each Board-to-
Board interface. By design and construction, providing a single contact
connector is not economical. However, removing the cost of the
connector without removing the functionality provides both a technical
and cost effective solution. By removing the insulator and allowing
contacts to be placed individually, the PCB can be designed with the
LED’s in the center of the PCB and the contacts on the outer edges. This
optimizes the design for functionality and assembly at the best cost
possible. More specifically, the contacts are packaged in T&R for
automatic placement, absorb significant x and y assembly tolerances and
provide a reliable gold-to-gold active contact interface. Application notes
are available to outline all of the contact configurations to support both
BTB and WTB applications.
APPLICATIONS
• Linear LED strip lighting
